About this home
At the end of a quiet gravel road, where three mountains seem to hold hands around a lush valley, sits 40 Shook Cove Rd., a place that feels like you’ve arrived at the edge of the world. Tucked into the historic farming community of Big Sandy Mush, this postcard perfect valley remains largely untouched, still stewarded by original settler families. Sparkling creeks wind through rolling pastures and wildflower-filled meadows, while conserved mountain lands stretch beyond your reach, creating a rare sense of seclusion. Wildlife flourishes here, and the elevation brings refreshingly cool summer air and peaceful winter snowfalls. Set on Newfound Mountain at the end of the valley, this timber-frame cabin rests on a private, wooded tract surrounded by forest and seasonal mountain views. The setting offers remarkable privacy while remaining within easy reach of Asheville, Waynesville, and endless outdoor adventure. Inside, the open-concept main level welcomes you with a warm living area, dining space, and fully equipped kitchen designed for gathering, conversation, and long, unhurried evenings. Thoughtful craftsmanship, quality finishes, and modern fixtures blend rustic character with contemporary comfort across three levels of flexible living space. Two private primary suites with ensuite baths anchor the upper and lower levels, offering retreat-like privacy for owners and guests alike. The main level includes two additional bedrooms with a shared bath, while a loft-style living area overlooks the great room below. The walkout basement adds a spacious living and game room with a wood stove, creating the perfect cozy gathering spot on cooler mountain nights. Outdoor living is where this home truly comes alive. A large wraparound deck with hot tub offers both covered and open-air spaces for dining, grilling, and lingering over sunsets. The yard features a fire pit for evenings under the stars, with hiking and exploration beginning on the property. Additional features include strong high-speed internet and ample parking. As a full-time residence, second home, or private mountain retreat, this home offers something increasingly rare, a place where nature still sets the rhythm of daily life, where creeks sparkle, wildflowers dance, and the mountains quietly hold you at the end of the road.
